till we are respected for changing pronouns and or gender till schools take responsibility for queers who are bullied till i don't have to answer questions "so like you only sleep with women"

It Ain't Over x4

gotta resist gotta support each other

It took thousands of years to create a society that perpetuates phobias & hate But it won't take so long to destroy it's structures, standards, and traditions. So we gotta resist gotta support each other

It Ain't Over x4

▼ Boys Will Be Boys ▼

boys don't have to be boys don't have to be boys don't have to be boys

▼ Under Sheets ▼

Pursuit of happiness Pursuit of sex Pursuit of power Pursuit of the patriarch the fuck you the patriarch the fuck you Pursuit of something new

This isn't conquest This is consent

In the dark under sheets without asking you touch me

we're not talking but you'll see how far you can take it advancing blindly

you don't know what I've seen what I like or what will trigger me

In the dark under sheets without asking you touch me

Pressuring & objectifying fellow queers wraps us right back into the throes of heterosexual norms & away from a safe, sex positive, respectful community.

▼ QsQ ▼

You belong here tonight

I promise to treat you safe As long as you're in my space

staying silent is no longer and option we are only as strong as our voices and the spaces we fill

▼Visual Hypnosis▼

How do you see me through this lens how do I define myself over & over again

this is unrest this is unkempt this is greater than: visual hypnosis / the internet web

we rest in saturated images i've lost connection with myself

i curse my own lines with obscurity i curse my own inability to withstand

we rest in saturated images i've lost connection with myself

self preservation cost me my autonomy you seem stagnant and i swell i'm done with my own escapism into a community of spam

TOUR
IS OVER. THANK YOU's to everyone who had a hand in helping make our last
five weeks such a success. ESP all participants involved in the booking
of our shows, all the show spaces that helped us create/hold queer
space, the babes who kept our merch alive, every band &/or person we
got to share the bill with, every home that let us stay the night, and
anyone who came out and supported us. Biggest thank you in the world to
Dick Binge for putting up with us for over 10,000 miles! thankyouthankyoUthankyOUthankYOUthanKYOUthaNKYOUthANKYOUtHANKYOUTHANKYOUthankyouWe had a
fucking incredible time!

Also we wanted to touch on our band name and sort out any misunderstanding. If you have any questions about what we've written below. We can be reached at f.d.b.band@gmail.com.

The name Fucking Dyke Bitches is a reclamation. It was a slur used by
our neighbor in reference to the people living in our house. We decided
to name our band fucking dyke bitches as a response to the homophobic
atmosphere and acceptance of such homophobia in the south*. It would be
careless of us to not acknowledge that the name remains, as it was
first perceived, an anti-gay slander. We ask that
those of you who identify as queer to call us lovingly by our full
name, Fucking Dyke Bitches (even those who do not identify with the word
dyke). And those of you who identify outside of a queer prerogative**
please refer to us simply as F.D.B. The name Fucking Dyke Bitches needs
to be recognized as a fully loaded negative aggression that was meant to
belittle and hurt us. Our name is not intended to be fun to say. It
is not edgy and exciting to us. As language is a complicated thing, we
beg our listeners to be fully conscious of the intentions behind their
words. Perceiving our bodies as feminine does not mean we should be
labeled as girls. Our "crude" band name does not condone usage of the
word bitch either. Fucking Dyke Bitches is a statement for queer
celebration and a nod at the things we want to see change.

*acceptance of homophobia refers to the general self acceptance of
homophobia by queers and internalized homophobia (which is not just a
problem in the south).

**what's is outside the queer
prerogative you ask? It cannot be defined simply. My first thoughts
would be people who are not LGBTQIQA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans,
Queer, Intersex, Questioning, Asexual) identified, but also a
heteronormative cisgendered straight identified capitalist/person who
hasn't the faintest idea about what the big deal is or isn't.

It's hard to define the term queer. It's defined differently by many
people and we aren't saying this definition is the only one. Loosely
it's a term that defines our struggle to break out of rigid gender and
sexual norms and a term used to express who we want to be without the
fear of rejection and being misunderstood. It's something flexible and
fluid and that's what makes it so important and unique.
